Blog 3221: Your club needs YOU!

At our 2016 AGM in November I announced my intention to step down as chairman after this year and I extended an open invitation to members to join the committee or volunteer in some way.

The response to the call for volunteers has been great and we have a promising number of individuals in training to become officials as well as a positive response to volunteering to support club events and our participation in galas and leagues.

We have had a couple of new members to the committee as well, but as yet we have not been able to identify successors to key roles within the committee, including a chairman. These roles are essential within the club which will have a significant impact our ability to continue to function effectively let alone build on our recent successes.

There is time now to have new committee members co-opted and provide an effective hand over from existing volunteers to ensure a seamless transition. There is also a fantastic support network with a wealth of experience to help along the way.

Please give serious consideration to your ability to get involved in this aspect of club activity.

It is both an enjoyable and rewarding experience
